Portable elongated object holder

Abstract

A portable elongated object holder including an obround casing and a plurality of elastically deflectable bristles continuously disposed on an interior surface of the casing. Each of an upper slotted rail and a lower slotted rail of a pair of slotted rails is disposed on the casing. A mounting clip has a clip portion and a bridge portion attached to each of the clip portion and a back surface of a mounting unit. The clip portion of the mounting clip has a pair of squeezable mounting tabs extended outwardly beyond a left surface of the mounting unit. The clip portion of the mounting clip is selectively slidably engageable within the pair of slotted rails. A securing mechanism selectively secures the mounting unit to an immovable surface. At least one of an elongated object is removably securable within the plurality of bristles.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A portable elongated object holder comprising:
 an elongated obround casing having a continuous interior surface, an open top side, an open bottom side, a continuous top edge, a continuous bottom edge, a linear exterior front portion, a linear exterior back portion, a pair of convexly curved side portions, and a cavity disposed within the casing and continuously extended from the top side to the bottom side; 
 a plurality of elastically deflectable bristles continuously disposed on the interior surface of the casing from proximal the top edge to proximal the bottom edge; 
 a pair of slotted rails comprising an upper slotted rail and a lower slotted rail, each of the upper slotted rail and the lower slotted rail having an inwardly disposed lip, wherein each of the upper slotted rail and the lower slotted rail is disposed on the exterior back portion proximal the top edge and the bottom edge, respectively; 
 wherein a length of each of the upper slotted rail and the lower slotted rail is approximately equal to a length of the exterior back portion; 
 a rectangular mounting unit having a front surface, a back surface, an upper surface, a lower surface, a right surface, and a left surface; 
 wherein a length of the mounting unit is approximately equal to the length of each of the upper slotted rail and the lower slotted rail; and 
 a mounting clip having a clip portion and a bridge portion attached to each of the clip portion and the back surface of the mounting unit, the clip portion having a pair of flexible and squeezable mounting tabs extended outwardly beyond the left surface of the mounting unit; 
 wherein a height between the inwardly disposed lip of the lower slotted rail and the inwardly disposed lip of the upper slotted rail is approximately equal to a height of the bridge portion of the mounting clip; 
 wherein the clip portion of the mounting clip is selectively slidably engageable within the pair of slotted rails; 
 wherein the clip portion of the mounting clip is configured to be selectively unlockable and, alternately, lockable from within the pair of slotted rails when a user squeezes the pair of mounting tabs together and, alternately, releases the pair of mounting tabs away from each other; 
 a securing mechanism disposed on the front surface of the mounting unit, wherein the securing mechanism selectively secures the mounting unit to an immovable surface; 
 wherein at least one of an elongated object is removably securable within the plurality of bristles. 
 
     
     
       2. The portable elongated object holder of  claim 1  wherein the securing mechanism is a magnet. 
     
     
       3. The portable elongated object holder of  claim 1  wherein the securing mechanism is a pair of suction cups.
